Description

Swan Cottages is a building that dates back to the 17th century or earlier. Originally a single cottage, it has been divided into two. The ground floor has been refronted with red brick and grey headers, while the upper part features curved tiles. There is a hint of a bressummer between the two sections, but the timber framing is still visible on the north wall. The building has a half-hipped tiled roof and features casement windows. It is two storeys high and has two windows.
